Abstract

This is a descriptive paper with a non-experimental design. Its goal is to present an analysis of the validity and reliability of a measurement instrument, conformed by 23 items that evaluate diversity management of an aerospace industry. We examine five variables: Orientation and training, Inviting organizational atmospheres, Interaction within diverging groups, Diversity acceptance, and Diversity attributes. The methodological strategies were planned in four stages. In the first stage we accomplished the construct’s theoretical approach and the instrument’s measurement design; in the second stage an expert panel carried out the evaluation of content; in the third stage the validity of the construct was reached through an exploratory factor analysis; in the fourth one, internal consistency was analyzed through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The instrument was applied to a sample of 416 employees, obtaining a reliability coefficient of 0.900. The analysis did not require elimination of any items. Twentythree items were found valid and reliable to test diversity management.
